PCF data was not being read correctly, but I was incrementing the read pointer
by the wrong amount (the offset and not the size).

Parsing some of the files, it just seems that the font data is going to be
wasted for the most part. Like there are properties, other things and such. I
think it would be best to just load the font, then draw something much simpler
like a basic bitmap table of bytes or similar. Since much of the information
is going to be dropped by SquirrelJME anyway. I think what is needed is a
basic ascent and descent (in pixels). Each glyph would have its width in
pixels (just a byte) then there would be the actual pixel data and such. That
would be the fastest and simplest to load, would use the least amount of
memory. Otherwise weaker systems are just going to stall heavily on font
stuff. Everything can be pretty much enforced ISO that I use already. I think
it is ISO-8859-15.
